Celebrating its fifth season.
World City features internationally renowned artists in admission-free performances on select Saturdays at the W.M. Keck Foundation Children's Amphitheatre at Walt Disney Concert Hall.
To complement the performances, the Music Center offers pre- & post-family workshops in the adjacent Blue Ribbon Garden. The first show is at 11:00 am with a repeat performance at 12:30 pm.
Free Tickets: All tickets are free and are distributed on the morning of the performance on a first-come basis. Advanced reservations are not accepted. Tickets are handed out on Grand Avenue at 2nd Street beginning at 10:00am for the 11:00am performance, and again at 11:30am for the 12:30pm performance.
Venue: The W.M. Keck Foundation Children's Amphitheatre is an intimate 300-seat outdoor performance space. Sunscreen and appropriate seasonal attire are strongly encouraged as the amphitheatre is uncovered. In the event of rain, performances will be moved to a nearby indoor location. NOTE: In case of rain, both performances and workshops will be moved inside.

Mullin Music Mobile: The Peter and Merle Mullin Endowment Fund at the Music Center Foundation generously provides transportation funding for a community group to attend a World City performance. Non-profit organizations that serve children and families, such as boys and girls clubs, or school groups may apply for funding. Groups awarded funding will be picked up by bus at your organization's site, brought to World City, and returned to your site following the show.
